If I had to pick any episode as a thesis on the relationship between Rose and the Doctor, this would be it. Rose does the typical time travel trope of saving someone who was supposed to die—in this case, her father—and as can be expected, all goes terribly wrong. Their dynamic, and to a degree lack there of, is at its best here in showing who they are. Despite being angry with Rose, he still does so much to try to keep her father alive. Rose and Pete have such a sweet relationship, especially considering the constraints of time they have together. Such a poignant episode that really focuses on the human quality of the show.

The Time Reapers are on absolute fraud watch. Where tf have these guys been since? Kicking back and relaxing in Time-Benidorm.

New Who Review #8

Father's Day

This episode ruined me emotionally. It was a really sad story about Rose's father and how he died. Rose created a paradox saving him but in the end there was nothing they could do Pete had to die. This story expanded Rose's family and introduced her dad. It was a really good story I'd say this is the best of series 1. 10/10

I really like this episode, though I'm not a big fan of the time reapers

Rose messes around in her own timeline and it goes badly. It was really cool to see how she behaves around her father who she never knew, and also see the difference between how he was remembered and how he actually was with his relationship with Jackie. Pete goes out like a badass putting the world right, getting the opportunity to be the protector and father figure for Rose that she never had.

The time reapers are dumb, but mostly I don't like them because they dont really show up ever again. In a show like this you would think they would be a pretty frequent occurrence but nope. It just doesn't make a lot of sense why they are here and nowhere else

I cry every time.
